During the first night of their ‘On The Road Again’ tour’s UK leg, an advert for their You And I perfume, recorded before Zayn’s departure from the group, flashed up on screen, provoking a negative reaction from the crowd in Cardiff.

In fact, some fans in attendance even booed the pop star, who announced he was quitting the band back in March.

However, the ever-rational Directioners on Twitter have reacted furiously to the clip of Zayn being booed, and are keen to set the record straight that not all fans of the band feel so angrily towards the former 1D singer.

Earlier this week, Twitter users were pranked when the hashtag #WelcomeBackTo1DZayn began trending worldwide, getting some fans’ hopes up that Zayn might be about to change his decision and return to the boyband.
